I was Japan, fighting a war against Britain and France. The British outnumbered me, were technologically ahead and had started building 89,000 ton super-battleships.
So i decided to strike first and hopefully defeat them in detail. Invading Wei-Hei-Wei was fairly straightforward and also allowed me to bag 2 of their BCs, slightly evening up the odds.
My next target was Hong Kong. My invasion force was met by a force as large as mine, with 10 BB/BC including an 89,000 ton monster. So I moved all my destroyers to attack it, launched air attacks against it, and finally finished it off with short-range shellfire. I eventually put 433 heavy sheels into it, though i imagine some of these cwere after vit was sinking (I wanted to make sure):

Does the ship have only central rangefinders?

Does the ship have only central rangefinders? I think what happened there was with all the hits it had received, they damaged the fire control equipment. |

Beating them didn't do me any good though.
The Russians joined the wear a few months later, so I sunk their fleet at Tsushima. Then the Germans joined in. My impressive vistory point agvantage was reduced to nil, they outnumber me, and their navies refuse to fight me.

Well, in that case, invade whatever you can and hope the peace deal doesn't set you back too badly.

I have just invaded Borneo, sinking 6 German BB/BC and 3 CV, while only losing 3 obsolete BB that i didn't care about anyway.
I also appear to be winning the submarine war:
I think I've sunk about 20 enemy battleships so far (it'd be nice if the game included a table of ships lost in the current conflict), and lost about 5-6 of my own.
My next plan is to move all my ships back to Japan and dare them to attack me. If then invade me in South East Asia, my fleet will meet them.

And I got a peace with no change in borders -- i.e. keeping all my gains.
My objective in this game was to win a war against each other other nations, so i now only have Italy and USA to go. Italy doesn't really count because Japan is a long way away from them and doesn't have any clashing interests with them.
